Microsoft to tailor Windows 10 setups based on how you use your PC
2020-10-07 16:47

Microsoft will soon offer different installation experiences when setting up Windows 10 based on how you plan on using the computer.

As people use Windows 10 in different ways, Microsoft is testing a new setup screen that asks you to indicate how you plan to use the computer to customize the options and tools offered during setup.

"Based on feedback, we're exploring adding a page to Windows setup to help better understand how you plan to use your device and aid in customizing your device given your intended usage," Microsoft announced today.

Depending on what category you select, Windows 10 will offer different setup options and possibly install a different set of preinstalled apps or features.

Microsoft is first testing this feature with a small subset of users in the Windows Insider dev channel as part of today's release of the Windows 10 build 20231.
